After initializing a necessarily mutable array is there any
straightforward way to protect it from being modified?

Is it a code pattern in which you make a mutable array, populate it, and then want it to be immutable thereafter? If so, you could do something like:

NSMutableArray *myArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity: 0];
    NSArray         *myConstArray = nil;

    //...fill the array...

    myConstArray = [NSArray arrayWithArray: myMutableArray];

The result of [NSArray arrayWithArray] is an immutable NSArray, which it sounds like is what you want.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
